"Exception: Invalid policy: Invalid classMapRef" when importing policies

[sethbeauchamp]

When importing policies into a fresh vmanage I am getting error "Exception: Invalid policy: Invalid classMapRef ".

I exported policies from an existing vmanage, then immediatley try to import that policy to another vmanage. �Both are running 19.2.1. I can provide the json file to someone privately if needed.

I believe when importing "vmanage_policy_lists", vmanage isn't preserving the "listId" of the classmap as listed in the json file.

I separated the "vmanage_policy_lists" to import it separately into vmanage, them immediately export it and can see that the"listID" is not the same as the original json file. So when it starts to import "vmanage_policy_definitions" the "classMapRef" is no longer references a valid id.

Thanks for the find @sethbeauchamp Added to our project plan and someone will get assigned to look at it.

@sethbeauchamp, any chance that we can get a sample import file?

@stevenca See the files and screenshot below. The two text files need to be changed to ".json", github would not let me upload that file format so I changed it to .txt.

The file "policy.txt" is the full policy exported from another vmanage and exhibits the issue when importing.
The file "modified-policy.txt" is a file where I have removed the problematic portion, which allows it to be imported into another vmanage.

I tested this by spinning up the SD-WAN sandbox in devnet, upgrading vmanage to 19.2.1, then using the tool to import the policies. See the screenshot for the commands ran and the results.

policy.txt

modified-policy.txt

The fundamental problem is that we are not processing class maps. I need to get a vmanage setup with them so that I can process. I might be able to use your policy to re-create.

Let me know if there is something else I can provide.
